On Location: Hotel William Gray

Combining the 18th-century Maison Edward William Gray, Maison Cherrier and a contemporary glass tower, the Hotel William Gray in Old Montreal stands out among the neighbourhood's historic properties. Its guest rooms range from intimate Alcove accommodations to The Residence, a 975-square-foot suite. Amenities also combine the new and old, including Boutique OTH, an on-site concept store, and Café Olimpico, a well-known coffee shop founded in the 1970s. The hotel's latest addition is the Spa William Gray, which opened in late September and includes a Himalayan salt room, German Gharieni spa beds and an outdoor pool.
